ABSTRACT

A case of primary lymphosarcoma of the prostate gland proved by Silvermann needle biopsy was presented. Lymphosarcoma of the prostate is a rare condition, and only 23 cases have been reported in medical literature. In Culver's series, 74 per cent were sarcoma of fibrous origin (round cell, spindle cell sarcoma, myxosarcoma), 5 per cent rhabdomyosarcoma, 6 per cent lymphosarcoma, and 10 percent pleuriplastic or un-or de-differentiated sarcoma. A large tumor of the prostate, which is not hard and nodule occurs in a middle aged patient, should be considered of lymphosarcoma of the prostate. A case of lymphosarcoma of the prostate is added to the literature.
